I'm using mail-notification and seeing the icon. A dumb question: could it be that your configuration is setup in such a way as to not show the icon? To check enter "gconf...." in the Unith dash and open the Gnome configuration tool. Click on application and look for mail-notification.
I'm attaching a screenshot of how my configuration looks like. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot at 2011-10-17 08:36:58.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mail-notification/+bug/874986/+attachment/2552927/+files/Screenshot%20at%202011-10-17%2008%3A36%3A58.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874986 Title: Missing systray icon in Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mail-notification/+bug/874986/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
